Chapter 141: Bargaining

Li Feng's sudden anger frightened Liu Ji and Xie Zhixin, Liu Ji picked up the fold on the ground, and was very angry when he read the first one.

"Impossible, Youzhou must not be ceded to you."

Youzhou is the barrier of Daqian in the northwest, which is not only related to the safety of Daqian, but also the only trade route between the two places.

If the Turks mastered this place, it would mean that Daqian was choked by the neck by the Turks and held a knife to the heart, which is no different from betraying the country.

The Turkic envoy had long expected this situation, and was very calm: "Please continue to look down." ”

"Don't look at it, I won't agree to the first one."

"Our Khan said that the Youwang of Daqian will definitely not win the first one, and the first one can be put on hold for the time being, and look at the following ones."

Liu Ji handed the fold to Li Feng, and Mei Lusi's second request was to establish a state.

The reason for Mei Lusi's request goes back to the past.

Before the founding of the Great Qian, the Turks were the biggest threat to the previous dynasties, and the Turks at that time were not only nomads who threatened the Central Plains, but they were also a dynasty on an equal footing with the previous dynasties, called the Turkic Khanate.

Later, Taizu established Daqian, fought a fierce battle with the Turkic Khanate, eliminated the Turkic Khanate, retreated to the nomads, and paid tribute to the Daqian.

The idea was to restore the Turkic Khanate, and preferably send an envoy to recognize that the two countries would be equal and fraternal states.

This request was very excessive, equivalent to a slap in the face of Daqian, but Li Feng was not very angry, and happily agreed to such a request.

"Your Meilusi Khan has such ambitions, of course this king has no problem, if Meilusi Khan helps me succeed in ascending the throne, our two countries will naturally be brothers and will always be united as one heart."

The Turkic envoy was overjoyed, before he came, he thought that the second Li Feng would resolutely oppose it, but he didn't expect him to agree so happily.

After reading the third article, Li Feng's brows furrowed slightly, his whole face was already dark after reading the fourth article, and after reading the fifth article, Li Feng threw the fold to the ground again.

"These requirements are not what Meilu Si Khan thinks, you have a capable person over there."

The Turkic envoy bowed his head and was silent, Liu Ji picked it up and read the rest of the requirements, and couldn't help but gasp.

Article 3 demanded that the Great Cadres provide the Turks with metallurgical, agricultural and other technologies.

Article 4 demanded that the Great Cadre send scholars to the Turks to help the Turks establish a complete set of written languages and teach them to the Turks.

Article 5 demanded that the cadres should relocate 5 million people to the Turks within 10 years.

Xie Zhixin's temper was worse than Liu Ji's, and he immediately threw the song to the ground: "Impossible, you are sucking the blood of Daqian." ”

Li Feng waved his hand at Xie Zhixin to calm him down.

"Tell me, where did you Khan get that capable man?"

"Meilu Si Khan said that if there is a chance in the future, the prince will see it. Khan said that you must agree to three of these demands before we can cooperate. ”

Li Feng frowned: "You go down first, I want to discuss it with them." ”

The Turkic envoy walked out backwards, and Li Feng frowned even more, what kind of person did Mei Lu get, and even this kind of rule was handed over to the Turks.

After the Turkic envoy left, Xie Zhixin said, "Lord Wang, you can't agree. ”

"Liu Ji, what do you think?"

"My idea is that I can say yes two, four, five."

Xie Zhixin said angrily: "Liu Tingshi, you are betraying the country. ”

"Tell me your reasoning."

"Youzhou is a barrier and a necessary way for trade, and they must know that we will not agree to this one, and they only put it forward to slow down the impact of other demands.

The second is that they must be, which should be Mei Lusi's biggest ambition for this cooperation.

Third, our technology can greatly improve their combat effectiveness, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Article 4 ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ji suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, the capable person Mei Lusi found must be my great scholar, and he is deeply knowledgeable, and knows the importance of writing and language to a country and a nation. ”

"Such a long-term person must be famous in my Daqian, the prince can check which celebrities are famous but disappeared, and he can find out the information of that person.

"As for this fifth article, five million people will be transferred to the Turks within ten years, and after the prince takes the world, it will only take five years to recover his strength."

Li Feng smiled: "As I thought, promise them two, four, five, it's time for us to see what we need to ask them?" ”

Xie Zhixin looked at the two who looked at each other and smiled, and shook his head slightly in his heart, after all, Liu Ji was more familiar with the prince, and he still lacked some heat.

After discussing it, Li Feng called the Turkic envoy over and made his own request.

The economic situation of the Turks is actually very poor, far inferior to the Great Qian, otherwise they would not have gone south every year to rob, you must know that this is a head-to-head business.

So Li Feng did not have economic claims on the Turkic side, but only asked them to provide troops, horses, etc.

"100,000 cavalry, this is not a high demand."

The Turkic envoy almost spurted blood: "No. ”

"Not a hundred thousand cavalry? Are you a liar? ”

The Turkic envoy's face turned red, 100,000 cavalry, of course the Turks can come up, but if they come out, the Turks have no soldiers, does this person know the soldiers?

Of course, Li Feng knows the price of training a cavalry, don't look at the fact that he now has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 2,000 horses from Yulinwei's pit, and he also has some horses on his side, but if he really fights, there are only 2,000 cavalry who can go into battle, and the rest are infantry.

And the cost of maintaining a cavalry is simply making people vomit blood, because everyone on the Turkic side has been riding horses since childhood, and catching an adult on a horse is a cavalry, so the cost is much smaller than that of the Daqian side, but 100,000 cavalry is still unbearable for the Turks.

Li Fengshi opened his mouth widely, the main purpose was to test how many soldiers and horses the Turks had, and 100,000 could make the Turkic envoys change their faces, and the one they could get together was 100,000.

"Youwang, if you open your mouth like this, then our cooperation will not be able to proceed."

The Turkic envoy was serious, got up and left.

Liu Ji stepped forward and stopped: "Is everything discussed, let's talk about it." ”

The Turkic envoy was angry, and Liu Ji poured him a glass of water.

Li Feng said: "100,000 can't do it? I agreed to your excessive request. Then I'll lower my requirements a little, 50,000, it's okay, right? ”

The Turkic envoy stretched out three fingers: "Thirty thousand at most." ”

"Forty-five thousand."

"Thirty thousand."

"Forty-three thousand."

"Thirty thousand."

"Forty-one."

"Thirty thousand."

……

The Turkic envoy made Li Feng's temper untempered, and this guy didn't talk about bargaining at all, so he recognized 30,000.

Li Feng was speechless, and the Turkic envoy said: "Before coming, the Khan told me that the three asked for 30,000. ”

"Your consciousness says, I have agreed to five requests, can you give me 50,000 soldiers and horses?"

The Turkic envoy nodded, and Li Feng began to think about whether to exchange technology for another 10,000 soldiers and horses.
